Summary of Kami-tachi ni Hirowareta Otoko
Deep in the forest, far from any human contact, lives a boy named Ryouma Takebayashi. He's engaged in the odd hobby of keeping various species of slime as pets. In addition, despite his young age, he has a sturdy physique and good tolerance for magic. All because three gods give Ryouma, after enduring many hardships in his previous life, a second chance to pursue one goal: to enjoy the wonders of life.
After three years of comfortable solitude, Ryouma meets people who will change his current life forever. When he finds soldiers and helps them tend to his wounded comrade, the group persuades him to come with them to visit the ducal family in the nearby town. Ryouma agrees and soon embarks on a journey to explore the wide world beyond his homeland.
